My first episode was Destiny of the Daleks all the way back in the 1980s, which I think was a good episode to start on.
Oh, I agree. What the production pulled off with tighter and tighter budgets is impressive. The Ark in space bubblewrap monster is phenomenal 😂
I’ve become quite fond of Patrick Troughton’s Doctor as well, and I see some of the same quirkiness in his performance as in Tom Baker’s. The Second Doctor with Jamie is as memorable as Four with Sarah Jane, just a pity so many episodes were junked.
